Getting the Most Out of
Your AI with Better Data
AI Adoption Is Rising Fast in Construction but Better Field Data Must Come First
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond experimentation in the construction industry. In a 2026 survey of more than 1,000 commercial construction leaders, 38 percent reported that AI was producing a measurable business impact. That was up from 17 percent in 2025. Contractors reported using AI for areas such as estimating, budgeting, and bid management.
The opportunity is significant, but AI is only as useful as the information available to it. A construction company cannot make better decisions from inaccurate asset lists, outdated spreadsheets, or employees’ best guesses about equipment locations.
Construction AI needs real operational data
Many construction businesses begin their technology strategy in the office. They improve estimating, accounting, project management, and document processing. The next step is connecting technology to field operations.
Owners need accurate information about:
GPS tracking provides a live or regularly updated source of location and movement information. That data can become part of a broader technology strategy instead of remaining trapped in phone calls, text messages, and handwritten notes.
GPS and Track is
adding AI to asset tracking
GPS and Track offers an AI enabled asset tracking option for trailers, containers, and equipment. The company describes the tracker as a battery powered wireless device with nationwide coverage, an extended battery life option, and an AI interface that users can communicate with conversationally.
Construction companies can also use real time fleet GPS trackers for pickups, vans, service trucks, and other powered vehicles. The fleet platform provides location, route, stop, speed, mileage, and vehicle history information.
This gives companies a practical way to bring reliable field data into their technology program.
Start with one operational problem
Construction owners do not need to transform the entire company at once. Begin with one clearly defined problem. For example, the company may frequently lose track of trailers between projects. It may have difficulty dispatching the closest service truck. It may need alerts when equipment leaves a storage yard after hours.
Install the appropriate GPS tracking devices, establish consistent asset names, create geofences, and decide who will monitor alerts. Once the information is accurate and employees trust the system, the company can expand its use.
The most valuable construction technology is not necessarily the technology with the longest feature list. It is the technology that solves a recurring operational problem.
AI may change how construction companies analyze information, but dependable GPS location data helps ensure that those decisions reflect what is actually happening in the field.
